Everyone's suggestions have been great as to provide alternatives to not leaving college completely.
How does being a nanny/au pair relate to your major? I think your parents would have been more receptive to your idea if you presented in a way that shows how it relates to your goals.
I took time off and it was a wake up call. They are not kidding around about having to pay back student loans when you're no longer a student. It was a challenge getting a decent job because I was competing against people who had their degrees. I did not get back to college as quickly as I thought would. I agree with winneythepooh7.
Everyone has a semester or two from hell. Hang in there.
